that Bermuda Cricket Board of Control have had to print more registration forms.

Sinclair Tucker, a member of the Board's Youth Organising Committee, yesterday expressed delight over the response, claiming it was proof that Bermuda's youth were anxious to get involved in an organised cricket competition.

Venues that have run short of forms will be replenished as soon as possible, said Tucker.

"We are really encouraged. News such as this is exciting and we hope that all Bermuda will respond with the same interest when the tournament gets underway,'' he added.

"Where registration forms have run out we can assure the youngsters that more will be made available as soon as possible, or they can go to other venues and get them.'' The committee are now urging parents to support the programme by attending various managers' meetings are planned for next week.

At these meetings they will get the chance to meet the managers and hear how they plan to organise matches in their parishes.

"It's important that the parents in particular come out and talk with the managers. In addition to learning details of how the tournament will run they will learn how they can lend support in other areas to assist the managers because the BCBC cannot do it all,'' said Tucker.

On Tuesday at 5.30 p.m. the parishes of Southampton, Warwick, Hamilton, Smith's, St. George's and St. David's will host meetings.

Southampton's will be held at Southampton Oval with manager Randy Raynor in attendance; Warwick at Warwick Workmen's Club (Steven Bremar); Hamilton at Shelly Bay field (Ernest Paynter); Smith's at Harrington Workman's Club (Wayne Smith); St. George's at St. George's Cricket Club (Wendell Smith) and St.

David's at St. David's CC (George Cannonier).

Pembroke will hold their meeting on Wednesday at Western Stars at 6.00 p.m.

with manager Arnold Manders while Devonshire's will be at Devonshire Rec. on Thursday at 5.30 p.m. with Lloyd Smith.

A meeting for Sandys will follow on Thursday at Somerset CC, starting at 5.30, with coaches Winston Reid and Gerald Fubler.
